Illinois SEP Fact Sheet 8.16.13
Syringe services programs (SSPs) in Illinois work to reduce the spread of diseases like HIV and AIDS among intravenous drug users. Ten SSPs operate in cities across Illinois, providing clean syringes and encouraging safe injection practices. Federal funding for these programs has resulted in significant healthcare savings, as studies show every $1 invested in SSPs saves $3-7 by preventing costly infections and diseases. SSPs have contributed to large decreases in new HIV cases among intravenous drug users in Illinois over the past two decades.

The UNC Family Medicine Center developed a Weight Management Program (WMP) to provide improved weight loss support for patients at risk of illness from obesity. An evaluation of the WMP's pilot phase found that patients were satisfied with the program but that WMP staff needed more resources to implement it consistently. The evaluation team created tools and recommendations to standardize the WMP's delivery of services and facilitate its expansion and sustainability.
Health Care Coverage and Access for Men, 2013-2015
The document discusses health care coverage, access, and health outcomes for men compared to women from 2013-2015. It finds that while the uninsured rate has declined overall due to the Affordable Care Act, more men remain uninsured than women. Men also report lower rates of prescription drug use, weaker ties to health care providers, and fewer preventative health screenings and sexual health discussions with providers compared to women. Uninsured men in particular face greater barriers to care and have poorer health outcomes.
The Ten Most Miserable States in the U.S.
The document lists the ten most miserable states in the US according to Gallup-Healthways' 2014 Wellbeing Index, which measures factors like smoking, obesity, unemployment, and mental health. West Virginia ranks as the most miserable, with the highest rates of poverty, unemployment, and obesity, followed by Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, and Mississippi. The index aims to relate residents' health-related habits to wellbeing on a state-by-state level.
Tma winter conf 2012 radical change
The document discusses the high costs of healthcare in the United States and argues that radical change is necessary to lower costs. It notes that the US spends much more per person on healthcare than other countries, with costs growing faster than the overall economy. Several common myths about the sources of high healthcare costs are debunked, such as that insurance company profits and brand name drugs account for most costs. The reality is that chronic disease, unnecessary treatments, high administrative overhead and medical liability costs are larger contributors and better managing these areas could achieve significant savings.

Primary Prevention Efforts to Reduce the Incidence of Breast and Upper Aerodi...
This document discusses a primary prevention strategy to reduce binge drinking and subsequent risks of breast and upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) cancers in New Jersey males and females aged 18-24. It finds this age group has the highest binge drinking rates and discusses how alcohol education programs in high schools and colleges could discourage binge drinking habits before they form and reduce cancer risks later in life. The strategy aims to lower incidence rates of these cancers, as over 25% of UADT cancers and 4% of breast cancers are attributed to alcohol consumption.
Important US Cancer Statistics
Based in Dallas, Texas, David T. Ball enjoys spending time supporting philanthropic organizations and initiatives. For the last five years, David T. Ball has engaged as a volunteer and participant in a national cancer fundraising and awareness campaign, Crawl For Cancer.
Over the course of 2019, the United States saw an estimated 1.76 million new cancer diagnoses and nearly 607,000 new cancer-related deaths. The disease continues to rank second as the leading cause of death among Americans, trailing behind heart disease. On a more positive note, 2019 findings marked a 27 percent reduction in cancer fatalities over the last 25 years, a figure representing more than 2.6 million lives saved between 1991 and 2016.
Of course, there is still more work to be done. As physicians and medical researchers work to eliminate the disease altogether, effective strides have been taken to close the mortality gap between certain races. Unfortunately, the gap between socioeconomic groups has increased in recent years.
For a more in-depth look at how the disease impacted the lives of American citizens in 2019, consider reading the scientific paper Cancer Statistics 2019, published in the medical journal CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians.
Nikisher Breast Cancer
This study compared alcohol consumption between mothers with and without a family history of breast cancer. Data on alcohol intake was collected through questionnaires in the LEGACY Girls Study. Mothers with a family history of breast cancer reported higher average alcohol consumption (12.3 drinks/month) than mothers without a family history (10.1 drinks/month). This refuted the hypothesis that mothers with a family history would drink less due to alcohol's association with breast cancer risk. The results suggest mothers at higher breast cancer risk may not be sufficiently lowering other modifiable risk factors like alcohol intake. Future research should examine if family history influences other risk factors and the impact of specific alcohol types on breast cancer gene mutations.
Athanasios Andriopoulos_final (2)
This document summarizes risk factors and determinants of the most malignant cancer types globally based on a literature review. It finds that smoking is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide and links various other factors like unhealthy diet, alcohol consumption, infections, and environmental pollution to increased cancer risks. It also examines differences in cancer rates by gender, age, and world region, finding for example that lung cancer deaths are much higher in men than women globally. Future challenges for reducing cancer rates include growth and aging of the population worldwide.
Senior Mortality Caused by Falling Incidents Went Up 31%, Study Shows
The rate of deaths from accidental falling incidents among American seniors increased by 31% over a period of almost a decade, according to the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Alzheimersfinaldraft
Alzheimer's disease is the most significant emerging public health concern in the US according to the document. It summarizes that while other diseases such as heart disease and cancer currently impact more people, deaths from Alzheimer's are increasing. Treatment for Alzheimer's is also limited and aims only to manage symptoms rather than slow or cure the disease. The lack of effective prevention or treatment options, increasing prevalence and economic costs, and impacts on caregivers' health and livelihoods demonstrate why Alzheimer's should be the top public health priority in the US.
Greater awareness of risk factors and early diagnosis can cut cancer toll
A healthy lifestyle, increased awareness, and more widespread vaccination and screening have great potential to reduce the risk and rate of cancer
How to reduce your cancer risk
This document discusses the rising rates of cancer and suggests increasing antioxidant intake through fruits and vegetables as a potential solution. It notes statistics from the WHO and NIH showing cancer rates have increased significantly between 1975 and 2014. While billions have been spent on cancer research and treatment, rates continue rising. It then promotes Monavie acai juice products as having the highest antioxidant levels and guarantees to raise antioxidant levels in the body to help reduce cancer risks.

The American Cancer Society is dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem through prevention, saving lives, and reducing suffering from this disease. The organization tracks cancer data including incidence, mortality, survival rates, risk factors, and estimated new cases and deaths. Resources on the latest cancer research, survivor stories, and information on prevention and early detection can be found on the American Cancer Society's website. The organization provides a community for cancer survivors and funds research with the goal of eventually eliminating cancer.

The American Cancer Society provides education and support to cancer patients and their families through various services. They offer information about different types of cancer, risk factors, treatment options, and how to navigate the healthcare system. One recommended service is "Tools to Help you Navigate Treatment," which provides resources to help understand treatment options and insurance. This can help reduce the overwhelming feelings faced by newly diagnosed cancer patients and their loved ones.

The American Medical Association (AMA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have launched an initiative called "Prevent Diabetes STAT" to reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes. Over 86 million Americans have prediabetes, but less than 10% know they are at risk. This new initiative will expand screening and refer more people to diabetes prevention programs. It provides tools for doctors to screen and refer patients to local programs. The goal is to help people make lifestyle changes to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes through increased physical activity and healthy eating.Cancer prevention aspec
This document discusses cancer prevention and screening. It provides information on lifestyle and environmental factors that can increase cancer risk, such as smoking, obesity, alcohol consumption, certain chemicals and radiation. Maintaining a healthy diet, being physically active, avoiding tobacco and excessive sun exposure can help prevent some cancers. Screening guidelines and key websites for cancer information are also listed. The document emphasizes that prevention through modifying risk factors is the best approach to reducing the cancer burden.
Chronic diseases in developing countries
1) Developing countries are experiencing a rise in chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease as unhealthy lifestyles spread. This is overburdening healthcare systems designed for infectious diseases.
2) Non-communicable diseases are a major cause of death in developing nations and the burden will grow significantly in coming years if no action is taken.
3) Poor countries face challenges in treating chronic diseases due to lack of funding, healthcare infrastructure, and health policies focused on infectious diseases rather than long-term care.

The document provides information about cancer prevention and screening. It discusses:
1. Overall prevention strategies like avoiding carcinogens and maintaining a healthy lifestyle to lower cancer risk.
2. Specific prevention strategies for common cancers like breast, prostate, lung and colorectal cancer.
3. Recommendations for cancer screening and websites with guidance on screening for early detection.
Screen breast cancer gigerenzer (bmj. 2014)
The document discusses how breast cancer screening pamphlets often mislead women about the benefits of mammography. It finds that almost all women have a false impression that overestimates the benefit by a factor of 10 or more. Specifically, the document outlines four common strategies used in pamphlets to misrepresent benefits: 1) stating what women should do without providing numbers, 2) reporting relative risks instead of absolute risk reduction, 3) citing five-year survival rates which don't reflect mortality reduction, 4) providing unrealistic absolute risk reduction numbers. The document calls for providing women with honest information in the form of a standardized "fact box" to allow for informed decision making.

Cancer control access and inequality in Latin America: A tale of light and sh...The Economist Media Businesses
In Latin America, cancer and its control present often stark contrasts—or, in the words of one expert interviewed for this study, “light and shadow”. Rapid change occurs next to stubborn stasis, and substantial progress in some areas is intermingled with still unmet, pressing needs in others.
It is also an issue with growing political salience within the region: past success in the control of communicable diseases has increased the relative profile of non-communicable ones.
This study looks in detail at both the bright spots and the ongoing gaps for Latin American governments as they wrestle with cancer and seek to provide accessible prevention and care to their populations. Its particular focus is on 12 countries in Central and South America chosen for various factors, including their size and level of economic development. These states, referred to as “study countries”, are Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay. Together they accounted for 92% of cancer incidence and 91% of mortality in Central and South America in 2012.
The study also introduces a major tool for stakeholders seeking to understand this field: the Latin America Cancer Control Scorecard (LACCS). The LACCS relies on significant desk research to rank the 12 study countries on their performance in different areas of direct relevance to cancer-control access. In addition to the scorecard, the report also draws on its own, separate substantial research as well as 20 interviews with experts on cancer in the region and worldwide. Its key findings include the following.FirstLine Therapy. Prevent chronic Disease
- Chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer and diabetes account for most deaths in the US and costs over $700 billion annually, yet less than 3% of healthcare spending goes to prevention.
- Adopting therapeutic lifestyle changes focusing on diet, exercise and avoiding tobacco has been shown to help patients achieve health goals without medication and reduce risk of chronic diseases.
- Studies have found that a low glycemic index diet combined with soy protein and phytosterols helped obese post-menopausal women significantly reduce weight, blood pressure, cholesterol and triglycerides.

Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidade
Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidadeProf. Marcus Renato de Carvalho
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.
Esta publicação só está disponível em inglês até o momento.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

- 1. AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY RELEASES CANCER RISK REPORT ELLEN SCHARAGA
- 2. INTRODUCTION As an operational consultant with Alegria Specialty Pharmacy, Ellen Scharaga assists in developing and delivering specialty medications to patients living with various conditions, including HIV, multiple sclerosis, and chronic pain. In her personal life, Ellen Scharaga also advances the fight against chronic illness by supporting groups such as the American Cancer Society. In an April 2019 press release, the American Cancer Society (ACS) announced the publication of its latest biennial report analyzing data for cancer risk factors in the United States. The report, titled Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Facts and Figures 2019-2020, was released in the April 2019 issue of the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention.
- 3. CANCER RISK The report revealed that although cancer death rates in the US have dropped over 25 percent in the last three decades, the rates could fall even further if individuals adopted certain lifestyle changes. One of the main behaviors linked with cancer risk is cigarette smoking, which accounts for 29 percent of the country's cancer deaths. In addition to quitting tobacco use, the report says that Americans can reduce their cancer risk by eating healthy, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, and limiting their alcohol consumption. Reducing exposure to UV rays and getting recommended screenings and vaccinations were the other risk-reducing lifestyle behaviors outlined in the report.
